Cooking Demo: Healthy Holiday Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

Tuesday, December 1 at 6:00 PM | Community Room | Registration Required

Holiday baking is a cherished tradition, but many classic cookie recipes rely on refined flour and large amounts of sugar that add calories with little nutritional value. The good news is that you can create festive treats that are just as delicious while adding more fiber, nutrients, and wholesome ingredients. This recipe can also be used to make gingerbread houses.
